Universalis for the Mac

Content & features

Full liturgical calendar including many national and local calendars.

About Today– pages for every saint and feast.

Liturgy of the Hours – Psalms, prayers and readings from every Hour: Morning Prayer, the three
daytime Hours (Terce, Sext and None), Evening Prayer, Night Prayer and
the Office of Readings, in English or Latin or both. Translations: The readings are from the Jerusalem Bible and the psalms are the Grail version, which is used across the English-speaking world.

The Order of Mass – The new English translation of the Order of Mass, which came into use
in 2011. You can optionally view the text in Latin and some other languages
side by side with the English.

Readings at Mass – First Reading, Responsorial Psalm, Second Reading, Gospel Acclamation
and Gospel, plus the antiphons and prayers for the Mass of the day. Translations: You have a choice between the Jerusalem Bible readings with the Grail
psalms (used in most of the English-speaking world) and the New American
Bible readings and psalms (used in the USA).

Mass Today– A single page that gives you the whole of the Mass of the day: the Order of Mass with all the readings, antiphons and prayers filled in.

Costs

Free trial – for the month of installation, and the month after, you get everything without needing to pay for it. After that time you still get the calendar and the About Today pages, for ever. So if that’s all you want, you don’t need to pay.

Registration code – to make the program work without any time limits at all, you need a Universalis registration code. If you already have a registration code, use it again: you don’t need to buy a new one. Otherwise the price of a registration code is:

£19.99 if you have never bought before (about $24.50 or €23.00).

£9.99 (about $12.50 or €11.50) if you have previously bought a Universalis app for iOS or Android.

Mac App Store

You can also buy Universalis for
£6.99 (or $9.99 or €10.99) from the Mac App Store. It is cheaper because it has a few limitations:

It can’t create e-books.

It doesn’t give you a registration code you can use for other Universalis apps and programs.

It can’t give you a discount on a registration code.

There isn’t a free trial: you have to buy it to try it.

If you want the Mac App Store version, you don’t need to read the rest of this page. Just press the button:
